Can I put a school of zebra danio's if I have a school of about 10 neons?
Also since those danio's are so active all the time will they not let the others sleep. Also,, will danio's bother a female Beta?

I'd think zebra danios and neons would be ok as long as there is a big enough school of each of them. (more danios means they'll pick on each other instead of the other fish, more neons means that the neons will feel safer in the tank)

I would think that danios might bother a betta...female or not. But it totally depends on their personality. If its a fairly easy going betta that you've had in a community tank before you might try it...but if its ever gotten in a tiff with other fish I dont think I'd risk it.

What size tank? For 6 danios and 10 neons and a female betta I'd say you'd have to have at least a 20 or a 29G
